Not directly Aladdin related but many Disney animators worked on both movies so here’s the trailer of Beauty and the Beast in 3D. No need to take out your 3D glasses though because it’s in classic 2D. I’m blown away by the beautiful and rich colors the ballroom has never looked so beautiful. The Lion King is rumored to be next if successful it’s paving the way for a potential Aladdin 3D conversation in a few years.

Then there’s the radio play re-tel of the movie released in a number of languages in many countries on various media like CD, cassette and I even came across an LP version one day. The play is from Austria in German and has pretty cover art marketing the kind princess and dashing hero.

Strolling off Ebay I came across this rare Aladdin spinoff radio play in German. It’s callled JAGOS RÜCKKEHR and seems to be starring Iago. Although I’m not able to translate the title my gut tells me it’s like Return of Jafar, Iago switches sides from evil henchman to good sidekick.
It’s released on a music casssete or MC which was what MP3 is today a way to have portable music back in the 80′s. The walkman is like the Ipod of the 80′s.

Seems I missed this one last year.
In Jasmine and the Star of Persia Aladdin and Jasmine travel to the far away kingdom once ruled by the kind Queen Dorri who whore the most magnificent purple amethyst after she died the jewel was locked away in a tall tower. Jasmine is determined to see this legendary jewel for herself.

The story is part of Lara Bergen’s Disney Princess: All That Glitters featuring Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella and Jasmine all on a quest to find jewels hence the name.

princealia posted scans in the LiveJournal agrabah community back in May 2009. I’ve taken the liberty to share a few with you here on Streetrat.

Cute Jasmine and Rajah pic that I haven’t seen earlier even though it was added to DA in February. Beautiful colors.

Came across this piece of fanart on DA, the only piece I thought was worth blogging in a while. Seems Jas is slowly losing her populairity among artists. I wonder if it has to do with Disney not putting her prompty with her Disney Princess friends like she used to. I haven’t seen any good DP merchandise let alone anything with Jas in it.

My new favorite moment from A Whole New World. The clouds are beautifully drawn, slightly transparent so that Aladdin and Jasmine’s bodies shine through. Love their expressions of excitement as they swoosh through the night.

I saw Prince of Persia Sand of Time today, certain elements like the prince (Dastan) being quick on his feet and a good sword fighter did remind me of Aladdin. It’s a nice movie, not a really strong story but I liked some characters, Dastan the best. The princess, Tamina was okay but I would’ve liked to see her a better fighter as she’s supposed to be strong and independent. The cinematography looked really beautiful and love the music.
Now let’s see if there’s a sequel by 2012 as people seem to think there’ll be. If there ever will be a live-action remake of Aladdin I can imagine it would look and feel like PoP. In the mean time watch the Prince of Persia trailer set on One Jump Ahead

Check out this vid of the new Disney water show World of Color where all our favorite characters, this includes Al&Jas + Genie, come too life through an amazing spectacle of water control. The shows at Disney’s California Adventure.

Beautiful drawing of our favorite princess that looks like it could have been part of the movie. The artist meant it as a joke but there’s some truth in it, seeing the reactions the 2D vs 3D animation discussion is still alive. I thought that had died now that almost all major animation studios have been producing computer animated films for almost a decade.
When Disney nicked traditional for computer animation a year of, what is it 6 years? ago it fel like betraying their legacy to me. Since then I have accepted it because well there’s nothing any fan can do about it. But when it watched Princess and the Frog last year I did question myself, why those folks at Disney’s gave up this beautiful craftsmanship. I did love Toy Story 3, that’s the most amazing storytelling in the whole TS series with great new characters. My next movie will be Rapunzel because well I’m done with Shrek and other animation movies don’t connect to me.

Just caught a summer vacation Disneyland Paris ad banner at a Dutch website featuring Genie. Captured it and strung it together in one image.

LJ user icon_grotto did a series Disney icons including three very cute Princess Jasmine ones.

Animation Backgrounds has some more background artwork from Aladdin. A shot from inside the Cave of Wonders, Outside view of Jasmine’s balcony, the Cave after it died out and 2 shots from the oasis where Aladdin and Genie land on Carpet after leaving the cave.

Tiefe-wasser colored a sketch he/she did of Iago’s love intrest Thundra from the Aladdin TV series. The artist didn’t really like it but I say well done and wonderful coloring.
